Richardson's Opal Bulls Eye Vaseline Glass Bowl and Stand c1890

A rare Stourbridge vaseline glass bowl by Richardson's with original silver plated holder made up of hearts and flowers. The bowl itself has a lovely deep vaseline opalescence covered with moulded concentric circles or bulls eyes. A superb example of hand made glass in excellent condition. Finely polished base, always a sign of quality. The plated stand with cleaning over the years is more or less down to the nickel, but still looks great and gives antique character to the piece. Diameter of bowl 9.75cm (3.9in)
